dc.description.abstract | A survey was conducted to identify the constraints affecting commercial ber (Zizyphus mauritiana Lam.) cultivation in Hisar, Rewari, Mahendergarh and Jhajjar districts of Haryana where problems of secondary salinity has considerably increased over the years. Ber trees require less care; have low water and agrochemical needs and withstand sub-soil constraints (e.g., salinity). Fruits fetch good prices in domestic and export markets. Orchards surveyed ranged from 0.2-2.8 ha in size. Orchard age varied from 10 years to over 100 years indicating, on one hand, continuity in the establishment of new orchards, and on the other, conservation of the old orchards. While about 60% of the orchards had trees of only one or two cultivars, remainder were multi-varietal plantations consisting of three or more cultivars of different maturity groups likely to be more resilient to the market and climate shocks. Young orchards (≤ 25 years) mostly had either single or mixed stands of Gola (early), Kaithali (mid-season) and Umran (late) cultivars. In contrast, landraces such as Lakhal, Najuk, Katha, Reshmi, Illaichi, Bagu, Bhoora Gola and Kala Gola were also found in the old orchards of Rewari (Bawal area) and Mahendergarh districts. Soil and water salinity, erratic supply of canal water and the high incidence of powdery mildew disease were identified as the major hurdles to high orchard profits. Irrigation water salinity (ECIW) was moderate (4-5 dS m-1) to high (6-10 dS m-1) at seven locations. Soil salinity (ECe 60-100 cm depth) was very high (8-10 dS m-1) at three locations. Salinity induced differences in fruit yield were evident as trees of a similar age grown under saline conditions produced considerably less fruits compared to those in normal soils. Fruit yield in Gola and Umran cultivars, for instance, was almost three-fold higher in normal than saline soils. Conjunctive use of saline groundwater and fresh canal water, and application of organic amendments such as farm yard manure and vermicompost were some of the practices adopted by the growers to overcome the salt stress. | en_US |
